Come to Terra Cotta Inn's FREE naked BBQ this weekend Jan 13th - 15th - It's Summer in January!

Summer is never out of fashion in Palm Springs, California the sunniest city in the US. For instance in ALL of 2011, Palm Springs only had 2.11 inches of rain the whole year. That's one of the many reasons why nudists and naturists in the know, will only stay in Palm Springs at Terra Cotta Inn.

The weather has been fantastic in Palm Springs, California. We have been in the 80's all week long and we are 100% sunny. And sunshine is predicted for the coming week and weekend. Many people don't realize that official temperatures are taken in the shade, so it feels even warmer in Palm Springs sun.

Since it is so sunny and so warm and this coming weekend is a 3 day holiday weekend for many guests, we decided instead of waiting until summer to throw a summer BBQ, we'll have one now to celebrate our summer in January.

And what's the best way to go to a BBQ? Naked of course!

We'll have hotdogs, hamburgers and all the yummy side dishes that you expect like cole slaw, potato salad, salad, and more.

And the Palm Springs film festival runs all week long until January 16th. Who knows, you may end up sitting next to a Hollywood star at a screening.

Now is the perfect time for a fun, romantic, unique vacation experience.

Never been to a clothing optional resort before? No problem. We are the most mainstream nudist resort in the US and are perfect for couples trying topless or nude sunbathing for the first time!

Just this fall AOL Travel, UK wrote "Discover our picks of the BEST Clothing Optional resorts around the world." They recommended Terra Cotta Inn as the ONLY nude sunbathing resort in the US catering to couples. Pretty cool.

It's nice when the LA Times, or Los Angeles Magazine, or Palm Springs Life Magazine pick us as the best place to stay in Southern California, but this is even cooler when AOL Travel England recognizes us also as the best place for couples.

And of course we're the best not because of being snobby. We're the best because we have the best guests. They have so much fun and are so friendly and wonderful.

AOL Travel also wrote about Terra Cotta Inn nudist resort that we "are considered one of the best value nudist resorts in the world." No reason to overpay for a nude vacation any more.

We are an affordably luxurious nudist resort. And don't forget all January long, we have our annual room sale of stay 1 night, the 2nd is 50% off on Sunday through Thursday nights. And no hidden resort or day fees here.

Just as this year’s line-up brings the promise of new voices to infuse the cinema with a renewal of its creative energy, the Festival itself is undergoing a reincarnation of sorts, with new staff, a fresh sense of purpose where the industry is concerned, and a clear eye to the future of the art form.”...

Throw in a scandal involving her ex and a gig hosting "Saturday Night Live" and she may very well be the "It" girl of 2008.

Now the actress can add accolades from the Palm Springs International Film Festival to her growing list of honors.

Hathaway, who gained fame for roles in movies such as "The Princess Diaries" and "The Devil Wears Prada," will receive the Desert Palm Achievement Award on Jan. 6 at the Awards Gala at the Palm Springs Convention Center, festival organizers said Wednesday...

Palm Springs Film Festival January 6th to 19th, 2009

Palm Springs is the coolest city for nudists to vacation in. We have such a celebrity history. Even our resort, The Terra Cotta Inn clothing optional resort and spa was once a celebrity resort where Marilyn Monroe, Spencer Tracy, Frank Sinatra, Desi & Lucy, and many more celebrities used to stay.

Every January, there is the annual Palm Springs Film Festival which is open to the general public. Last year 122,000 people saw the films.

What is so nice about the Palm Springs film festival is the general public is invited to attend the red carpet galas for the price of an admission.

We have many guests who come here to see the films. They relax, nude sunbathing all day long and see the movies at night. Our guests are always telling us the celebrities that they have seen. And the Palm Springs film festival is much more informal than for instance the Canne film festival in France because Palm Springs is considered the "back yard" of Hollywood, so many directors, producers, actors, and actresses attend the movies even if they themselves aren't in any of the films.

This year the festival will be better tahn ever as it is the 20th anniversary of the Palm Springs Film Festival.

Here is the information about this years show:

"Palm Springs film fest shuffles schedule, to hold gala early in week

Mary Hart will return for the sixth year to host the awards show.

"Opening the festival with the gala we thought would be an exciting way to launch the 20th anniversary," said Harold Matzner, chairman of the Palm Springs International Film Festival Society. "The thinking is the awards show generates a tremendous amount of publicity and attention, and opening with it will create more excitement and coverage..."

"This awards show... It's very well supported... "It has tremendous star power. It's mind-boggling..."

"The festival has grown every year for last eight years. The awards gala is covered by every nationally-syndicated entertainment show," he said. "The festival is hot, the awards gala is hot and it will have a very strong show."

In 2008, a record 122,000 people attended the festival. Some popular passes sell out before the festival opens.

Tickets to the awards gala are $350 or $1,000 for VIP seating. Tables for 10 are $3,500-$15,000.

Tickets to the opening and closing night galas are $50, as are Reel Deal Six Packs (six screenings).

Silver passes are $275 for screenings Jan. 9-13 or Jan. 14-18. Platinum passes are $400 for guaranteed priority seating Jan. 9-19, excluding opening and closing nights and parties.

For high rollers, the Concierge Pass at $1,500 gets reserved seating. The all-inclusive Benefactor pass at $2,500 includes gala events along with reserved seating.
